Nhật Lệ 2 Bridge, a new symbol of Quảng Bình, is not only a key transportation project but also a testament to Vietnam’s internal strength and intelligence. Few know that behind the magnificent beauty and modernity of this second-largest cable-stayed bridge with symmetrical spans in Vietnam (after Rạch Miễu Bridge) lies the silent but crucial contribution of the powerful and durable Nhật Lệ crane trucks.

To build a large-scale project like Nhật Lệ 2 Bridge, the transportation and installation of massive components is a significant challenge. It was the Nhật Lệ crane trucks that became indispensable arms, ensuring the construction process proceeded smoothly and on schedule. From lifting and lowering bridge girders weighing hundreds of tons, erecting towering pylons, to moving construction materials on site, Nhật Lệ crane trucks demonstrated their indispensable role.
Nhật Lệ 2 Bridge commenced construction in August 2012, carrying the mission of promoting the tourism potential of the Bảo Ninh peninsula and creating strong momentum for the development of Đồng Hới city. This project is not only an attractive tourist highlight, attracting investment, but also an important part of the coastal road project in the Central region approved by the Government. To realize these goals, the presence of Nhật Lệ crane trucks is crucial, ensuring the progress and quality of the project.

With a cable-stayed bridge design featuring a single tower and two spans, each span 150 meters long, a 97.45-meter high A-shaped bridge tower, Nhật Lệ 2 Bridge is a remarkable feat of engineering. The bridge deck is 23.6 meters wide with 4 lanes, the total length of the bridge is 515.2 meters, and the connecting road is 1,783 meters long, with a high-grade A1 pavement structure. To achieve these impressive specifications, the support of Nhật Lệ crane trucks throughout the construction process is indispensable.
Mr. Nguyễn Hữu Hoài, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quảng Bình province, emphasized that Nhật Lệ 2 Bridge is the second-largest cable-stayed bridge in Vietnam built entirely with internal resources. From design, construction, project management to supervision consultancy, 100% is carried out by domestic units. The project owner is also the local Department of Transport. This further confirms the important role of domestic businesses and labor forces, including those who operate and use Nhật Lệ crane trucks, in contributing to the success of the project.
Nhật Lệ 2 Bridge is not only significant in terms of transportation but is also an important road bridge crossing the river in the socio-economic development of the locality. The modern and magnificent architecture of the bridge creates a tourist highlight for Đồng Hới, opening up opportunities for investment and exploitation of nearly 2,000 hectares of sea area. In the future, this area will be planned into a bustling urban area, associated with unique tourism. To make these plans a reality, the companionship of Nhật Lệ crane trucks and other specialized transportation vehicles will continue to play an important role in the construction and development of Quảng Bình.
Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc and delegates cut the ribbon to inaugurate the technical opening of Nhật Lệ 2 Bridge, officially putting the bridge into operation and use. This event marks an important milestone in the development of Quảng Bình and is a testament to Vietnam’s construction capacity and self-reliance. In that success, the image of the Nhật Lệ crane trucks diligently working on the construction site will forever be a beautiful memory, marking an imprint on the history of the bridge.
